Directions
Heat the oil in a wok. Add the garlic and stir­fry until golden brown. Add the
meat and shrimp and keep stirring until the shrimp changes color. Remove
the shrimp to prevent overcooking and set aside.
Add the noodles. They will stick together so stir fast and try to separate them.
Add a little water, stirring a few times. Then add the Pad Thai sauce, and
keep stirring until everything is thoroughly mixed. The noodles should appear
soft and moist. Return the cooked shrimp to the wok.
Push the contents of the wok up around the sides to make room to fry the
eggs. If the pan is very dry, add 1 more tablespoon of oil. Add the eggs and
spread the noodles over the eggs to cover. When the eggs are cooked, stir
the noodles until everything is well mixed­this should result in cooked bits of
eggs, both whites and yolk, throughout the noodle mixture.
Add chiles, peanuts, garlic chives and bean sprouts. Mix well. Remove to a
platter. Serve with raw bean spouts and a few drops of lime juice.

Pat Thai Sauce:
Mix all ingredients in a saucepan for about 60 minutes until it is well mixed
and syrupy. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Cook's Note: If you want to double this recipe, DO NOT double the ingredi
ents, for the bulk will be too much to work with. Rather, make the dish twice.
If you plan to make this for company, cook noodles ahead of time and add
bean sprouts and garlic chives when you heat it up. If it is an informal
gathering, it is fun to let your guests cook their own noodles.
You can buy premixed tamarind concentrate or make your own tamarind
juice. Buy a package of compressed tamarind pulp at any Asian market, cut
off 3 tablespoons of paste and soak in 1 1/2 cups of warm water for 20
minutes. Squeeze out the pulp and discard; the remaining liquid is tamarind
juice. Store any leftover juice or noodle sauce in a tightly sealed container in
the refrigerator or freezer.
